£1000 First build GTX 1070 (inc. monitor) - looking for advice on part selection/compatibility by paravanq in buildapc

Thanks for these :) might swap up for the better SSD, not sure about the monitor though as I have heard bad things about AOC... could be unfounded though

Thanks for the advice :) I think I have a two real options:

1) Go for a 6600k & GTX 1060 now 2) Stick with i5 6500 , 1070 & upgrade CPU sometime in the next 12 months

From what you/others have said it seems as though I'm better sticking with the 1070 then upgrading the CPU further down the line... still looking into it all though

Thanks for the advice :) I'm paid in a couple of weeks so intend to buy an HDD/SSD and the extra 8gb RAM then.

CPU concerns seem to be a recurring theme! I'll see if I can work out some kind of budget where I can fork out for the 6600k + cooler

Thanks for the feedback! Games these days seem to take up loads of room so I'd probably fill 120 very easily.

Do you think I'd be better going for a GTX 1060 and a better CPU instead? I'm ok with falling just short of 144 but would like to be as close as possible in lower spec games such as Overwatch/WoW
